In our school we use LanSchool in a computer room principally to enable Teachers block student Internet access, printing, applications, etc, and to try to get students to focus on the subject matter.I have a problem where Spiceworks will not discover the workstations in the computer room except for the Teachers PC which has the Administrative version of Lanschool installed. The others have the student version. Is it possible that LanSchool is somehow blocking discovery of the other workstations?Even if I am logged onto the workstations as administrator Spiceworks will not discover them despite repeated scans.

If this is the case, then you would need to use its admin system to open port 135 or specifically allow Spiceworks so that WMI scanning can take place. You will likely still have to perform the required WMI/DCOM setup on the pcs for SW to scan properly.
